Jack is 27 years older than Susan. In 5 years time he will be 4 times as old as her find the present ages of Jack and Susan

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: j=jack's age
s=susan's age
ok so

jack is 27 years more than susan
j=27+s

in 5 years (j+5 and s+5), he (jack in 5 years) will be (=) 4 times as old as hwer (susan in 5 years)
j+5=4(s+5)

so we have
j=27+s and
j+5=4(s+5)
subsitute 27+s for j since they are equal
27+s+5=4(s+5)

distribute
a(b+c)=ab+ac
4(s+5)=4s+20 so we have

27+s+5=4s+20
add like terms
32+s=4s+20
subtract s from both sides
32=3s+20
subtract 20 from both sides
12=3s
divivde 3
4=s
subsitute
j=27+s
j=27+4
j=31




jack is 31
susan is 4
Answer 2
Answer: Susan present age is 3 because if you add five to 27 you get 32 then you divide it by 4 and you get 8 then you mince 5 because you added it to 27 and you get 3. And Jacks age stays the same. 27 and 3.

What are the factors of 72 and 96?

Answers

The factors are what the number is divisible by.

96- 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16, 24, 32, 48, 96

The common factors are 1,2,3,4,6,8,12 and 24.
Hope this helps
so the factors are the numbers that make up the number so (exg factors of 6 are 2 and 3)
3*2 means 3 times 2

72=2*2*2*3*3
96=4*4*3*2*2*2

we can see that the common factor is (3*2*2*2 or 24)

How do you solve equations with rational coefficients?

Answers


You've been doing that all this time and didn't even realize it !

Every plain old number that you ever see is a rational number.
Every equation that has plain old numbers next to the variables
is an equation with rational coefficients.

If a variable ever has (pi) or a square root or a trig function next to it,
then that's an irrational coefficient.  But I'll just bet you haven't ever
seen any of these yet.
